The rear of a mini - horrible

[CoolHands]

bejesus! WTF is this? It looked horrendous - I assumed the owner had personalised it, but since taking this pic I saw another one

[Northernchimp]

Mini Paceman, says on the back. Hideous, pointless piece of st.

[anonymous-user]

Easier to say Minis are horrible and driven by twunts.

There was a blue one of those being driving by a girl in her 20's near the Barons BMW in Farnborough yesterday.

The E was missing so it was a Mini Pacman Not sure whether it was intentional or previously vandalised but either way the lettering did make me chuckle a bit

MINI Paceman Cooper SD, I reckon.

[Mr2Mike]

That is astonishingly ugly. I reckon the poor old Pontiac Aztec is feeling a bit happier about itself these days

[carinaman]

Minis had vertical rear light lenses, not horizontal ones.

Does that massive MINI badge double as a tailgate handle?

[Rawwr]

Mother of god.

[juliethotel]

Nowhere near worthy of twin exhausts as well.

Horrible horrible cars. A little bit of me dies every time a see one.

It's got a BMW engine you know.

Have they? The old ones had Toyota and Chrysler. And they were built in a factory in Oxford. So no real link with BMW at all.

They really are cartoon characters now. For the work force's sake I hope the bottom of the barrel is not too close.

I had one as a hire car this week, fortunately only a day, it is the 2 door version of the Maxi Mini (Countryman?)

I had to suffer the 1.6d with no toys. Noisy, lots of noise, wind noise, road noise, very intrusive, engine was loud with no go. Dash squeaked a lot, probably because rather than do what every other manufacturer has done and simplify everything, they have decided they need multiple surfaces to be joined together. and they all squeak. Steering was woeful, wooden, no feedback. It was no good in town or on a motorway. You have to have a pretty thick skin (and skull) to want to live with one I'd think.

Yes. And when its covered in muck, so are you. And it is, obviously, huge.

And seemingly the BMW executives from the 1980s have been responsible for the options packages, as practically anything of use appears (at quick glance at the website) to be a paid for extra.

Fashion comes at a laughably high price.

And don't forget the front.....

[vikingaero]

They copied a 1970's childrens party jelly mould car to get the styling.

Good thing though in this case, or they'd sell more of them .

[LaurasOtherHalf]

& yet I think they look quite good

Try not thinking of it as a mini, just as a small soft roader from a fashionable brand

[DoctorX]

Rear lights are horrible (and the front ones I suppose). Apart from that it's not that bad.
